Green 2023s Trickling In

Front and rear 2.5's?

Yes, I didn’t want larger than stock size due to very small engine and other things as well.

Makes sense, I've thought about running it multiple times myself. Unfortunately, rider + accessories + cargo in my case exceeds the load limit of those tires.

I’m about 160lbs. and my gear won’t go real heavy. I was going to ask you if that was a bad idea running 2.5 on the rear. I figured it is oem size and should be good.

If you never have anything on the back and you're the weight of a small, fit Japanese grandpa, then 2.5's would be plenty for what you want to do. If you're really unsure, the load limit is 291 lbs, and many bathroom scales go up to 300 lbs, so you can physically roll the rear tire onto the scales and see if they say you're too heavy. I'm regularly hauling 30 lbs of gear and I wear heavy, XXL sized waterproof and cold weather gear.

Just saw a post on FB that Honda of Rarden OH has a 2023 in stock I'm case anyone's looking within striking distance. Good small dealer in Southern Ohio.

The OEM tires are closer to 3.0 (80/90-17), though tire measurements are all over the place. With the Shinko SR244s having a more agressive trail tread, expect that those knobs add some visual height and width to the tire while having a smaller carcass size.

Got the call yesterday evening, it's in! Gonna go collect it with a friend shortly, riding it back to Milwaukee via backroads. Gonna keep off full throttle so as to not hurt the engine during break in. They gave me the VIN so I already have insurance on it. Very excited!

Look what I found!

I have a '22 I haven't changed the oil in yet and now I am wanting a green one too.

There is 1 more 2023 CT125 at Mason CIty Honda, Mason City IA OTD price at $4375 (not sure about tax/title etc for IA riders).
I picked mine up today from Curt there and brought it back to WI.

New to the forum. We picked up our 23 Trail 125 today from a dealer in Richmond, VA $4847 OTD. Super stoked!!!

One left in Danville, Ky. $4250 plus 6% state tax, that’s it. At that price I had to get one. Next Saturday I pick up. Dealer called yesterday, 244s mounted and ready for dirt. Trucking it home so the break in can be done as recommended.

Thats where I bought my 22. I was impressed with every aspect of how they handled the sale. Only 25 miles from me, I should sneak over and look at your tires lol

If I had a truck sooner than Saturday, I would go get it. I got a 300 Honda 4x4 from that dealer about 40 years ago. They been putting smiles on faces for decades. You sneak in there, get me a pic!

 

[Backwoods]

Don’t know how my reply mixed with your paragraph, but like I was saying… if I had a truck………..

Finally picked up my Trail yesterday, took my first road trip ever back home with it. Went great, grabbed my friend’s Livewire once we got back to the city. Easy to have stoplight conversation on these bikes!

Also got the front rack installed once I was back home, pretty easy. Was told by the dealer that this was one of two they are getting for the YEAR. Out the door was just over $4,800 for me.

71 miles in total, woohoo!

Can't recall if it was this or another thread that spoke to Floyd's in Danville, KY. Picked it up this morning for 4300$ and Uhaul'ed back down to TN. Good, clean service.

Went to my local dealer to have my Shinko 241 put on my TW200 and two of the 23' Honda Trail 125's got delivered while i was there. One was already sold and the other was sold in a new dealer record of less than 5min from arrival to yup you guessed it, Me. Now i can take my 78yo Pop riding with me.
